Sam's POV:
For a guy who hated school when he was a teen, he sure made an excellent teacher when he grew up. Seriously, Danny's students adore him. Watching Danny attend to his classes was fun. I don't know why but it puts a smile on my face whenever a student recites… and his students recite allot.
After Danny's first class, the day passed by smoothly. And before we knew it, the bell rang, signaling the end of the day. Danny took me to Nasty Burger for dinner, saying that it was his treat. I smiled and nodded. He then grinned and began to drag me towards the place with a goofy grin plastered on his face.
For a moment, I didn't see the twenty-four year old man he is now. Instead, I saw the fourteen year old boy who loves to have fun. For a moment, I flashed back to us when we were fourteen, eating and hanging out and not having to worry about any problems. I know… that's pretty sentimental of me. But hey, you would miss those times too. Especially when you have many problems on your plate.
"Hello? Earth to Sam?" Danny said, breaking me off of my thoughts.
"Sorry, Danny. I spaced out for a minute there." I said.
"Why? What's wrong? If you're still thinking about the lying thing—"
"No it's not that, Danny." I said. Danny looked at me confused as he munched on his fries. His jet black hair fell over his eyes, the same way when he was fourteen. A smile made its way up to my face as I watched him, chuckling softly when he had catsup on the corner of his mouth.
Snap out of it, Sam! You can't think of Danny that way! Even though he looks really cute! My inner voice yelled at me. I sighed and shook my head a little. After all these years, I still have feelings for him. The truth is, I only agreed to date my ex just to get over Danny. I know, desperate right? But I can't help it. I can't bare the fact that he will never be mine…
"Sam?" Danny said again. I snapped out of my thoughts to see him looking at me with a worried expression.
"Sorry, Danny. What was it you were saying?"
"I was asking you on what it is that you're thinking." He said. I blushed. I can't possibly tell him that I was thinking about him.
"I just remembered those fun times when we were teenagers. You know, when you, Tucker and I would hang out here." I said. It was true though. I really miss Tucker and his stupid jokes. It has been months since we last spoke to each other. I heard that he was already running his own company. And at a young age of twenty-four too.
"Yeah, I miss those times too. You know, we could visit Tucker now. I believe his work will be almost done." Danny said. A grin made its way back to my face as I stood up.
"Well, come on ghost boy! Let's go visit Techno-geek!" I said as I took his hand and dragged him out of Nasty Burger.
"I knew you'd say that." Danny said with a smirk as he went behind a tree to transform before scooping me in his arms and flying to . I laughed as I held unto him tighter. I really missed these moments. Danny laughed with me as we sored through the sky. I looked at him the same way I looked at him when we were fourteen. When we were going to battle Ember… when we got slammed into a billboard…
"Why are you staring at me like that?" he asked. I snapped out of my thoughts and blushed.
"I—uh—it's just that, flying's nice." I said. Danny chuckled.
"Sam, I'm twenty-four already. You think that kind of trick will trick me again?" Danny said with a smirk as he looked forward again. I blushed and cleared my throat. Danny glanced at me again before chuckling.
"Well, what can I say? No one can resist my charm." He added. I raised my eyebrow at him. As I was about to say something I noticed that we were about to smash into a billboard… again…
"DANNY! LOOK OUT!" I yelled. It's a good thing he dodged the building just in time.
"Yep… flying's nice. But falling stinks. Especially if you're carrying a pregnant passenger with you!" I said. He blushed before grinning his goofy grin.
"He he, sorry about that." he said. I smiled before we continued the flight in silence.
-LINEBREAK- (ps. Tucker's company is named: " ")
"Hey, Lisa." Danny said to the receptionist. The woman turned and smiled.
"Hey, Danny. Brought a friend, I see." She said as she turned to me. I smiled before stretching out my hand.
"I'm Sam." I said. "Nice to meet you, Lisa."
"Nice to meet you too, Sam. So, I'm guessing that you're both looking for Mr. Foley?"
"Yup! Mind letting him know that we're here?" Danny asked. Lisa smiled and turned to the intercom.
"Already on it." she said.
"Mr. Foley, Danny and Sam are here to see you." she said into the intercom.
"Really? Send them in, Lisa." I heard Tucker say.
"Well, you know the way, Danny." Lisa said. Danny thanked her before leading me to the elevator. He pressed the top floor before the elevator closed its doors and took us there. Elevator music played the whole way up there. Making it more awkward. I don't know why, but it just is. The "ding" of the elevator snapped me out of my thoughts. Danny and I made our way down the hallway and came face to face with a huge wooden, double door.
"Whoa, Tucker sure has it big time." I said. Danny nodded before turning to the lady at the desk who I didn't even know was there. The lady looked up and smiled.
"Hey there, Danny. I'll inform Mr. Foley right away that you're here." The lady said as she picked up a phone and held it to her ear.
"Mr. Foley, Danny Fenton is here."
(Pause)
"Right away sir." She said before hanging up. "You two may go in." she said.
"Thank you." Danny said before taking my hand and pushing open the door. He then led me inside before shutting the door. I only have one word to describe Tucker's office…. It is HUGE. There's a big, wooden desk with a CEO chair in it in one side of the room. At one side of the wall, there was a flat screen TV attached facing a mini lounge area. He even has his own restroom. And, just like you see in those movies, he has a great view of Amity Park from up here. I was so caught up with looking around Tucker's office that I didn't notice Tucker stand in front of me.
"Like my office, Sam?" I snapped out of my thoughts (again) before grinning at him.
"Well, it depends… do I get to use it often?" Tucker chuckled at my response before enveloping me into a hug. I hugged him back. I missed him so much.
"Tuck, even though I miss you, I would really appreciate it if you let me go now because you're crushing my Goth indifference." I said. I heard Danny and Tucker chuckle before Tucker let me go.
"Same old Sam." He said. I grinned before walking over to his desk and sitting down on his chair.
"So, Mr. Foley, how does it feel that you're a CEO at a young age of twenty-four?" I said as I spun around in his chair. Tucker smiled a smug smile before adjusting his tie. He hasn't changed much, except that he has grown taller (He and Danny now tower over me by five to six inches.) and stopped dressing up as a stop light. But he still keeps his red beret hanging on a hook in his office wall.
"Well, life is good. I even got a girlfriend, you know." He said. I raised my eyebrows before turning to Danny.
"Who?" I asked. Danny smiled before saying "Guess."
"Hmm… Valerie?" I asked. Tucker shook his head.
"We decided to stay friends."
"Carmen?" I said, referring to a girl he met when we were in college. This made Tucker chuckle.
"She hardly ever spoke to me." he said.
"Star?"
"No way."
"Paulina?" I said, this time just to tease him. He gave me an "are you kidding me look" which made Danny and I laugh.
"I'll give you a hint." Danny said. "She's a Fenton."
My eyes widened at Danny's words.
"Jazz?!" I yelled. Tucker laughed before nodding. Wow, how much did I miss with my friends' lives?
"Wow, Tuck. How did Danny take it?" I asked gesturing to Danny.
"I took it quite well, thank you very much." He said.
"And by 'well' you mean you almost killed Tucker?" I asked.
"Maybe a little." he said. I rolled my eyes before glancing at his desk and around the office. I saw pictures of us when we were still teenagers. There were some pictures where it was only Jazz and Tucker, Danny and Tucker, me and Tucker, and us and Jazz. I even saw a picture of Danny and me with the word "Lovebirds" written on it. I picked it up and showed it to Tucker.
"Really?" I said. Danny then sent a glare to Tucker who just raised both hands up.
"What? Do you guys really expect me to stop teasing you? I know for a fact that you two still have feelings for each other. And I bet Sam still has that 'Wes' ring with her." Tucker said before glancing at my hand. "See? She's even wearing— YOU'RE WEARING IT?!" He asked, or more like yelled. He then glanced at Danny's hand and saw the ring he wore earlier.
"You guys got together and you haven't even told me?!" he said. I saw Danny grimace.
"Actually Tuck… we aren't exactly 'together'…" Danny said.
"What do you mean? Sam is wearing your ring. That must mean you're together right?" Tucker asked. Danny shook his head. He glanced at me before I gave him a nod. He nodded and told the whole story to Tucker.
After a while, he was done and Tucker's eyes went wide.
"Sam… oh my…. I… I have no words… wow…" he stuttered as he approached me and hugged me real tight. I told myself not to cry but I couldn't stop a tear or two to escape. I could feel Danny just standing there and watching us… I also bet that he has his fists clenched too.
"Don't worry, Sam, we'll find a way." Tucker said after he released me from our hug. His eyes then went to my stomach.
"So, what are your plans for that little rascal growing inside you?" he asked with a small, sad smile.
"That 'little rascal' and Sam are going to live with me until we solve this case." Danny said with so much seriousness that it made me shiver by just looking at him. While Tucker, being himself, manage to make a joke about the situation.
"Aww. Are you gonna be the little father of the little rascal? Or are you gonna do it because you want to be Sam's little husband?" Tucker said in a baby voice attempting to piss Danny off… And it did, because Danny smacked Tucker upside the head. Now that was funny.
"OW! Come on, dude! I was just messing with ya!" Tucker complained while rubbing the back of his head.
"You know, Tuck, for an owner of a very successful company, you still act like you're five years old." I said making him pout.
"But seriously, Sam, if there is anything you need, I'm right here. And don't worry, Danny and I will be here for you every step of the way. Especially Danny." he said. I glanced at the both of them and smiled.
"Thanks so much guys." I said.
"Don't mention it." Tucker said.
After a little while of talking and catching up, we bid our goodbye to Tucker before Danny took me home. He then went invisible and placed me in my room.
"Thank you for today, Danny." I said as I sat on the bed.
"It was nothing, Sam." His eyes then wandered to my stomach. I avoided my gaze and instead looked at the sky. It looked so beautiful tonight. Especially the moon.
"What are you gonna name it?" Danny asked suddenly, breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Huh?" I asked.
"You know… the baby. What are you gonna name it?" he asked as he approached me and sat in front of me on the floor.
"If it's a girl, which I strongly sense that it will be, I want to name her –"
"Lilith…" Danny suddenly said.
"How did you know?" I asked him. He just looked at me before shrugging.
"I don't really know… I just had a feeling. How about the second name?" he asked. I thought for a second before glancing at Danny.
"I'll know when I see her." I said. Danny nodded.
"But what if it's a boy?" Danny challenged. "What are you gonna name him?"
His right. What if my baby turned out to be a boy? Hmm…
"Then I'm going to name him 'Daniel'." I said. His eyes brightened.
"Really? You'd do that?" he asked. I nodded my head while smiling. He smiled back.
"But that's highly unlikely because it's gonna be a girl." I said. Danny chuckled while shaking his head.
"Stubborn as always." He said. "What makes you so sure?"
"Remember the nightmare I had?" I asked. "I saw my baby… it was a girl. She had my eyes and had dark brown hair." I said while imagining the angelic face of my baby. I saw Danny smile before standing up.
"No need to describe her, Sam. I know what she looks like." He said. I stared at him.
"You do?" I asked. He then approached me and sat beside me on the bed.
"Yeah. And I'm sure she's as beautiful as her mother." He said while tucking a stray strand of her from my face. I couldn't help but blush at that.
"Thanks, Danny." I said. He smiled before standing up and approaching the door.
"Good night, Sam." He said before opening the door and stepping out.
"Good night, Danny." I said before closing my eyes. I was about to fall asleep when I heard a sigh.
"I love you…" I heard him say quietly before closing the door.
I wasn't sure if I was hearing things or whatever… but that certainly woke me up again.
